Dominick is currently serving as the commander of the SpaceX Crew-8 mission aboard the ISS. On March 3, 2024, he arrived on ISS together with Michael Barratt, and Jeanette Epps both from NASA and Russian cosmonaut Alexander Grebenkin.
Dominick and his colleagues have carried out a number of experiments during their whole stay aboard the ISS. Studying weather patterns, they have been tracking storms and other natural events, such as hurricanes and auroras, from space.
The crew’s return to Earth is anticipated to end with a splashdown at one of several selected zones off the coast of Florida on Friday, October 25, at around 3:29 a.m. EDT.
